Royalton man caught after fleeing

After fleeing his house in handcuffs, a Royalton man was caught yesterday when he returned home.

Jason Clarke of Royalton Center Road was being taken into custody on Monday for an alleged parole violation when he fled the home in handcuffs at about 10 p.m.

A Niagara County Sheriff's helicopter and its K-9 unit were called into search for Clarke, but he eluded police for the night. He was caught back at his home on Tuesday and charged with assault with injury, petit larceny, resisting arrest and escaping custody.
